Choose from patchwork, applique and sashiko blocks, organized into themed sections based on geometric, pictorial and family crest designs. All the techniques you need are clearly demonstrated.
Each design features a photograph, clear instructional diagram or template, fabric palette and cutting guide, and instructions for making the block. At-a-glance icons indicate the skill level and techniques used.
All of the blocks can be mixed and matched, and you will find examples of fail-safe block combinations for sytlish quilts, from tessellated all-over patterns to spectacular sampler quilts.
